Kevin's place was a great space for our family, very spacious, clean and well presented. Unfortunately the kids got sick and we had to return after one night so we really didn't get to enjoy our stay. One thing to note is the place got a bit cold but once we figured out the thermostat it was much warmer. Kevin was a great host and provided us with lots of information on the area, he communicated promptly and was amazingly accommodating and even said we could return to make up the nights we missed! Thank you so much Kevin. We hope to return soon to really enjoy our stay.

Katherine 2017-01-16T00:00:00Z

We stayed 3 nights in Kevin's cottage. It is located in the forest, the cottage is much larger than it appears. I recommend eyes closed.

Elodie2017-05-09T00:00:00Z

We had a very good time with family in Kevin's cottage. He was very accommodating and helpful. The cottage is larger than it looks. Thanks again!

Marie-Bénédict2017-03-26T00:00:00Z

The chalet is very spacious and quiet. Perfect for a relaxing holiday!

Audrey2017-02-12T00:00:00Z

beautiful place and very spacious! Very satisfied from beginning to end.

Gabrielle2017-03-01T00:00:00Z

We had a perfect Christmas with our young children in the lovely and spacious chalet Kevin! Communication with Kevin was easy. We recommend the toboggan downhill at the municipal park of East Bolton a few minutes from the cottage :)

Camille2016-12-26T00:00:00Z

Beautiful warm and spacious chalet. The place is very well located, lending more place for nature lovers and skiing. wonderful family holiday filled with relaxation. I strongly advice you place.

sebastien 2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

Kevin's cabin is spacious and clean. With 4 adults and 2 children we were very comfortable. The fireplace is nice for cold days and large terrace perfect for hot days! Everything was in line with pictures and description. The box was padlocked for key convenient for input and output places at our convenience. The only downside was the TV: very small and difficult to start with different housings. We did not use it and when we asked for help from Kevin he could not explain. It's too bad: may be it would leave a guide for the next visitors.

The vast countryside close to the city (15 to 20 minutes)
for restaurants and grocery stores.

We loved our stay with Denise. They were warm welcoming and the apartment was wonderful. We felt remote yet close to outstanding activities. We were given access to the yacht club and took a kayak tour of the lake. We were even lucky enough to get a sail tour which was one of the highlights of the trip. Lastly they are dog friendly which is a must for our family. I would recommend anyone stay there.

Mike2015-07-22T00:00:00Z

This place was great! Clean, comfortable and set in nature. The area is beautiful and close to many sites. The hosts are wonderful and our dog loved staying here. Definitely recommend the place! Will stay again if we come back! We made plenty of meals here and the spa was so relaxing.

Emily2016-12-01T00:00:00Z

That was all we needed. Denise is a very pleasant host and listening. I recommend!

Julien2016-11-13T00:00:00Z

This little house is perfect for two people seeking tranquility and a place out of town but close to amenities and attractions. New with all common amenities, indoor and outdoor. very welcoming hosts. total comfort. superb environment. Highly recommended.

Claude2015-07-26T00:00:00Z

Flexibility hosts and kindness. Without personally knowing the host, a simple little touch by phone give you a very good idea of the kindness and hospitality that Denise and Philip offers. Thanks to you two.

Chantale2016-07-17T00:00:00Z

A well located apartment to explore the Eastern Townships, although not necessarily quaint nor picturesque as it is not by the lake. It was a great starting point for our long bike rides. Denise made sure to contact us beforehand so we could arrange key pick-up and passed by one morning to make sure we had everything we needed. More than enough room for two people, with ample outdoor seating, a BBQ, access to a spa and kayaks, full kitchen (except no dishwasher) with a reasonable amount of cookware and dishware, large bathroom, washer/dryer. The bed is however somewhat old, squeaky and uncomfortable (I like a firm mattress). Also, there is usually a domestic animal in the apartment, which we were not warned about. We noticed upon arrival that there was some hair on carpets and under furniture. I was a bit worried since my husband is quite allergic to cats, but he was already loaded up on anti-histamines because of seasonal allergies and we figured it was probably dog and not cat hair.

Jessica2015-09-07T00:00:00Z

super quiet, by nature, a large 3-1 / 2 with independent entrance, well lit, it really feels like home. We were very well received by guests. We enjoyed our stay. Many nearby activities! A nice corner to discover! Jan-Michael and Bianka

Jan-Michaël2016-08-24T00:00:00Z

My stay in Austin was very nice. Denise and Philip are sociable and friendly people. I arrived they offered me to dinner with them and showed me around (beach, market, etc.). They also invited me to join them for a boat ride where I learned some navigational maneuvers !! In terms of housing, it was spacious and comfortable, and despite the scorching heat, the apartment was always fresh. I was able to swim at the beach with a private marina about 5 minutes walk from the cottage. The beach is small, but the site is really quiet, it's good for those who want to sleep in the sun, saucer and stay away from the crowds! For those who enjoy the great beaches, the Magog is located about 15-20 minutes drive. It is good to know that there is no supermarket in Austin, so you plan to go shopping before we arrived when we want to cook or otherwise one has to go to another village (15-20 minutes ). However, there is a small market / gas station and general store that can help.

The house is located on top of a small hill overlooking the bay. Your house was built in the 60s. It definitely has the looks of the 60s. It is not new but it is warm and friendly place. There is a large balcony, to sit in the sun. The house is 100 m from the road. Located at 5 minutes from SPA CHUTES BOLTON.

Great base for exploring the Eastern Townships and enjoy the colors of autumn, we felt very well in Luke's cottage and had a good time. We start this cottage!

cyril2016-10-11T00:00:00Z

We had a pleasant stay at Luc's cottage. Spacious, comfortable, and very well equipped. It lacks nothing for cooking. The view is beautiful from the dining room table or on the balcony where we ate several meals on the table. We had the company of jet blue, hummingbirds, cardinals and geese. No noise from the marina in the vicinity, if not the discreet clink of sailboat rigging. The location is intimate and invisible neighbors. We have not met Luke, but all communications by telephone or text message it was enjoyable. Luke responds very quickly and leaves nothing to chance. We recommend without reservation!

Amazing! The location is truly idilique with stunning lake views! And the house is very well made and decorated. We had a lovely time!

Benoît2017-02-19T00:00:00Z

well maintained cottage bathed in a calm and relaxing atmosphere, beautiful view of the lake. To consume without moderation !

mounia2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

Very clean, nice view, cottage great and relaxing

Emilie2016-07-27T00:00:00Z

Charming retreat for those who want to stop and catch his breath. peaceful place. We even heard coyotes one night ... away, rest assured! And what a treasure trove. The drawers are full of cookbooks and other documents from the 50s, 60s.

Suzanne2016-08-06T00:00:00Z

Luc, the host, was very responsive to our questions. The house was ready for our arrival. He left a few tourist information for us for activities to do. He worked with us to accommodate our need to stay past the check out time well beyond what would be required.

Cozy cottage on Lake Malaga at Austin in the Eastern Townships (about 1h15 from Montreal and 15 minutes from downtown Magog). Has 3 bedrooms (1 queen and 2 double) and 1 bath-room with bath / shower. Open air.

Steeve's place was amazing for a weekend gateway, or even for a week. In a beautiful part of estrie, 10 minutes away from orford ski resort, and near Magog with many grocery stores and great restaurants. The place gets a lot of sun in the morning and the communication was very easy. I will definitely recomend this place for anyone

Tristan2017-03-12T00:00:00Z

The cottage is beautiful, well located in a quiet place or it is super easy to pick up the daily madness. We spent several wonderful evening in front of the fire family to play board games, live the life without television.

Felix2017-03-04T00:00:00Z

We had a nice time at Steeve! The cottage is comfortable and well decorated. Its location is strategic: both near activity centers and back to the edge of a lake. The place really helps to relax. Experience to repeat!

Martin2016-09-15T00:00:00Z

Very good cottage, welcome, lots to do nearby. Very good rental

Adrien2016-12-28T00:00:00Z

This cottage has it all! It has a magnificent view of Lake Malaga, it wraps us in a warm atmosphere, it has all the necessary amenities, it offers a brightness of more energy and is almost at the same time within less 15 minutes (10, convenience store, grocery store in April, Magog and the SAQ). The only reason not to recommend is that I would not want someone else praise along with me) Steeve thank you!

Jean-Philippe2017-03-31T00:00:00Z

Great cottage on the lake, perfect for a quiet and relaxing time!

Agathe2017-04-10T00:00:00Z

Awesome experience! cozy cottage, well-equipped, comfortable (good bedding, small but nice bathroom), host very available to answer questions before the trip and very welcoming. And ... the lake ... A magical, beautiful place and very quiet, with pontoon Adirondacks chairs for breakfast, plus a paddle boat and a canoe. I recommend the sunrises over the lake (easy arriving with jet lag!). If I lived in Canada, although I would come every year!

Florence2016-08-04T00:00:00Z

The cottage was really nice and very clean , also had 2 queen beds very confortable in beautiful cozy room. The cottage was nicely décorated with nautical and Hunting theme . The lake was quiet and very nice water for swimming With a big deck for tanning or just morning coffee. We really enjoy our stay there and Steeve the host is a really good and friendly person ....its also 15 minutes drive to Magog the closest town with resto, bars and stores,,,,also close to the ski hills in the Winter...

The host canceled this reservation 54 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Michaela2016-10-30T00:00:00Z

The cottage is very cozy and very well equipped, and it's very close to Owl's Head. Peter is so nice and reply to me very fast very time. Our kids love the large deck and the little valley at the back, especially with a lot snow. And the trail in the woods at the end of the road is also very good if you like to walk your dog or just take a walk. We had a perfect family getaway and will recommend it to everyone.

nan2017-03-18T00:00:00Z

The cottage is located on a quiet street 10 minutes from great skiing and hiking at Owlshead and 30 minutes from Orford and Sutton. There is a couple of quaint stores about 10 minutes away to get bread, meat and cheese etc. The town of Magog is less than 30 minutes away for everything else needed. The area is beautiful and we were able to walk to the lake from the cottage. The cottage was very cozy and well equipped for a family vacation. All the rooms have nice views. The living room looks out to a forest, ravine and creek. We were pleasantly surprised to see quality frying pans as most cottages only have old scratched ones. Peter was always available to answer any questions and made sure we'd have everything we needed, including firewood! Looking forward to staying there again!

Dave2017-01-03T00:00:00Z

Inviting cottage great location for lovers of alpine skis (between Orford and Howl's head hill and 20 minutes from the incomparable Devil Green Mountain station. The Path of Swallows is a small quiet subdivision in hillside access to Lake Memphremagog is just a 3 minute drive or 10 minute walk. Services and shops are available in Mansonville and Vale Perkins. The beds are comfortable and the large living room (living room, dining room) is pretty and warm. Also, a very large terrace overlooking the forest lets us see some reflections of the lake hidden by the lush vegetation of the hill.

A stylish COUNTRY HOME located at a five minute walk from the Memphremagog Lake and at a 10 minute drive from the Orford and Owl's Head ski resorts. This space is perfect for friends and family who want to spend a quiet & quality stay at the center of everything in the Townships.

Before we start, here are 3 THINGS PEOPLE LOVE about our Stylish Country Home:
1 - The AREA is simply amazing. As you can see from the pictures of the listing, some of the most beautiful views of the Eastern Townships are just a few minutes away from our property.
2 - Our place has recently been renovated and it has a lot of character. The beds are really confortable and we can conformably greet several Guests. The FIREPLACE is awesome especially in wintertime and we also feature a lot of original artworks created by my boyfriend and co-owner Brad Firmino on our walls.
3 - The PINE TREE FOREST that surrounds our home is magical. Every morning we can watch the sun rise over the lake through the trees. We also have a HAMAC, FIRE PIT, and BBQ area, which is a great spot to spend time outdoors with family and friends at any time in the year.
Here are 3 THINGS TO CONSIDER before renting:
1 - We have put a lot of love in our home so NO PARTIES nor loud music or any kind of loud noise outside is permitted, out of respect for the residents living around the lake.
2 - Our country home is located in the forest. Although it is very conveniently located (5 mins from the lake, 10 mins from Owl's Head), don't expect to find Burger King on our street corner. The closest chains of restaurants can be found in Magog, which is about 20 minutes away. That said, we do have a local restaurant in the Austin village that is only located 5 mins away and you'll be pleased to know that I can guarantee the food there is awesome. A mini-SAQ, a grocery store, and two corner stores can also be found within 10 minutes drive from our house.
3 - Our kitchen has NO CONVENTIONAL OVEN. It was already like that when we bought the place and it's simply impossible to fit one in the current layout. So we use a convection oven microwave and BBQ to cook anything that can be cooked in an oven. Yes, a turkey can be cooked in the BBQ and it's delicious.
Now that this is clear, let's get to the description of the place.

Outside, this stunning property is surrounded by CENTURY-OLD PINE TREES that have grown all over its 1.5 acre piece of land.
The BREATHTAKING SCENERY surrounding the area is constantly changing with the seasons. Since the place is located at FOOTHILLS OF THE APPALACHIANS MOUNTAINS, it's the perfect spot to enjoy many outdoor activities all year round!

everything was perfect, the house is heaven, spacious, refined, Dany has done everything that we feel at home

Stéphane2015-11-09T00:00:00Z

Our host was very helpful in our arrival. The description was accurate. Nice and cozy house in the forest. The area was a bit far from restaurants and noise but that was also part of the charm.

A really lovely place, perfect for our family of 4 (with lots of room to spare). Within driving distance of lots of things to do, very comfortable and nicely appointed home. Dany was responsive and quick with communications - everything was as promised. Thanks!

Gideon2015-06-28T00:00:00Z

Dany's place was great and Dany was very responsive and helpful. Very well recommended!

Phil2014-02-17T00:00:00Z

We had a great weekend! The house was welcoming, warm and well equipped for the purpose of our stay. We enjoyed the fireplace and the location of the house. (Very near the spa and mountain) We would return without hesitation!

Audrey2015-01-12T00:00:00Z

Perfect. The accommodation was exactly the photos and description, we still enjoyed good Dany plans to beautify the weekend. The place is ideal for enjoying the area and rest, where family and friends. Thank you for this beautiful interlude.

Paul2015-05-25T00:00:00Z

This cottage is really perfect: well appointed, and well decorated. Pleasant, spacious and in a quiet corner. Dany was also available for any questions during the stay. We had a great time with friends, I recommend it;)

Gerard and Marius were excellent hosts and proprietors of the cleanest place I've EVER stayed in my life. The attention to detail was immaculate. The decor was creative, unique, and fresh. The breakfast (fresh squeezed juice, homemade buckwheat crepes topped with smoked salmon and a variety of homemade breads) was the best breakfast in our 10-day vacation. We also had access to swim at a private beach up the road and the B&B is close to the Abbaye St. Benoit du Lac. I would highly recommend staying at La Clairiere. I can't imagine a better place to stay in the Eastern Townships.

Hank2016-08-06T00:00:00Z

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your beautiful home. The meticulous attention to detail and impeccable décore were outstanding. Our needs were met beyond our expectations. The home-made breakfast was prepared fresh and our early departure time was accommodated graciously. We truly appreciated the warm welcome and perfect hospitality. Merci beaucoup Marius et Gérard! We look forward to returning soon!

Kathryn2017-05-27T00:00:00Z

Karine2017-02-12T00:00:00Z

enchanting haven. Suite lovely overlooking a beautiful clearing where birdsong accompanied our stay. Marius and Gerard were very caring and very welcoming. Breakfast was actually a very hearty brunch, homemade and simply delicious. Thank you again and see you soon.

Charlotte2016-09-25T00:00:00Z

Gérard & Marius are naturally gracious hosts. Their tastefully decorated suites are roomy and bright during the day and cozy and romantic in the evening. The wood fireplace just melts your cares away into the solitude of the evening. The food was as good as you would expect from an experienced gourmet Chef (Gérard) and each morning there was a new culinary masterpiece. The attention to detail is what sets Gérard & Marius above the rest. Nothing gets missed in their cleaning, there was never a need that was not already anticipated, nothing out place or unmaintained. Staying in La Clairiere is a pleasure I can't wait to experience again.

Roland2017-01-05T00:00:00Z

Gerard and Marius are great hosts! Very friendly and did everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible! Very spacious, very clean and the pictures do justice to the beautiful place - birds and forest surrounding the house - really super nice! Thank you for everything and for the excellent lunch (great food and company) !! See you in the fall :)

Beautiful house overlooking the ecological lac des sittelles. Recently renovated, this home is warm and comfortable.
The walls and pine floors and a slow combustion stove will warm your winter evenings. The all pine master bedroom with its bathroom is situated at the top floor. 1 guest room at the main and two smaller rooms and a sofa-bed at terrace floor. There is a complete bathroom on each floor.

A canoe allows you to explore the lake and enjoy the view of Mount Orford. Many spas are in the area including Bolton falls spa, Eastman spas and nordic station. Great snowshoeing possible from the chalet. Visit Magog and its many restaurants and the National Park of Mount Orford. Both are at about 10km from the cottage.
1 hour from the Champlain Bridge.
PLease have a look at my guidebook, you'll find there is a lot to do in the area. Thanks!

Jacques' cottage was a lovely spot to spend our family American Thanksgiving. It is a spacious house that is very clean and inviting. The view of the lake is so pretty and overall a very welcoming home.

Christina2016-11-27T00:00:00Z

A beautiful cottage on a lake, quiet, well heated and clean. Ideal for a family holiday or friends, space to not feel on top of each other, games available, a ping pong ... in short, a large chalet that promotes a cozy atmosphere in the winter!

olivier2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

We stayed at the cottage of 25 to 27 July. We were 3 couples with 3 babies. The cottage is lovely and very spacious for a group (4 rooms on 3 floors and 3 bathrooms). The kitchen is well equipped and there is a BBQ. The beach is quiet and the water was warm. We appreciated the helpfulness and friendliness of the host. We retain the place to go back next time.

Marie-Claude 2014-07-28T00:00:00Z

The chalet is very warm and well decorated. The environment is splendid. I highly recommend. Jacques thank you for the excellent service.

Ginette2016-07-11T00:00:00Z

Jacques's cottage is well described. We had enough space and privacy for my husband, myself, our young children and my parents. We had a little glitch on arrival and Jacques was very receptive and easy to attach to correct the situation. However, we were a little disappointed with the beach nearby that is not really great for swimming (an entry to the water and not super duck droppings everywhere on the dock and the lawn), so we used it which is about 20 minutes walk from the chalet.

Julie2015-08-01T00:00:00Z

Great cottage, perfect for 2 families of 4 to stay together, close to Orford & Bromont. Jacques was great, very helpful for a first-time AirBnb user. Cottage was warm, well equiped, very clean. The ping pong table was fantastic. We had a fantastic time and will definitely come back here again next time we come to Orford.

Chad2015-02-10T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay in the chalet Jacques. This place is perfect for the small group that was. 3 bathrooms, and access to the lake across the street. We enjoyed. Our host was very alert and receptive to our messages, which facilitated the organization of the weekend. I recommend you rent!

Julie2014-05-20T00:00:00Z

We had a very nice stay at the Jacques cottage. We were 4 couples and we did not feel cramped. There are 4 closed bedrooms (one with 2 bunk beds) plus a double sofa bed. The 3 bathrooms are very functional! The cottage is close to major attractions in the area and we were even treated to Foresta Lumina in Coaticook (which is an hour from the chalet)! In one minute you have maximum access to the small park that overlooks the lake and its pontoon. Unfortunately, we did not have the time, but a canoe ride was superb! Finally, Jacques was very helpful with messages and its response time was 15 minutes ...? hihi Thanks Jacques

The house is really big and beautiful. The owner is very kind and I think that everybody can enjoy and have relax here. However, I would recommend a deeper cleaning to accommodate all kind of families (especially kids).

Luca 2013-07-02T00:00:00Z

We were very pleased to find this lovely accomodation since we were not able to find anything in Sherbrooke due to Canada Summer Games at same time. We were contacted about a week before arrival to advise there was a miscommunication and booking for 1st 2 days of the 7 booked overlapped with another guest - after some discussion Jean's son was able to make other arrangements for us for the first 2 days, which worked out quite well/very enjoyable stay in town. The country cottage for last 5 days was different than we expected. The description, pictures, property are all very beautiful. We arrived to find what appeared to be folks living there/laundry on the line/etc. It turns out the house is divided into 2 separate accomodations. The photos for this listing showing pool table, modern kitchen, bathroom,etc were in fact the occupied side-we had the very rustic rough cottage side, with nice wood beams throughout, obviously very rustic. There are 2 bedrooms uostairs, with single bathroom downstairs. There is also a washer/dryer., and nice fireplaplace. The attached neighbour were very friendly, and their 2 friendly Irish setters enjoyed playing with out 6 month old puppy. The grounds, frog pond, back forest area were all great. The bathroom, kitchen worked well, although the stove is truly a very old combination gas and wood stove. Some TLC would go a long way to making this an even nicer place to stay. Jean and his familiy were all very hospitable and checked to make sure all was well.

Hello there! we booked this house my husband and I for a weekend with our son 10 months. Reception and book were impeccable. The house is very well located, about 20 minutes from Magog and minutes from St-Benoit du Lac. On our more delicate, we must admit that the cleanliness and facilities of the house were the most disappointing. Here are some points that burst could be improved: bedding n 'clearly had not been washed since the last customers and we had a simple bedspread while we slept in a queen ... The shower and toilet are in area open which may not be suitable for everyone. Finally, although we wanted to cook on site we have seen up the inventory. In short, we believe that the house lacks a bit of "varnish". That said, I think with a visit to Ikea for a suitable bedding and a good deep cleaning, this home has lots of potential to receive visitors from Airbnb:-)

The host canceled this reservation 39 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Jean is very nice host - he met us very late at night, and was very helpful in general. The house is gorgeous -as well as the yard and the garden, where Jean kindly allowed us to pick fresh vegetables. We feel more like guests, not renters. Merci!

I chose Jean's home for a family vacation over the long weekend because it was pet-friendly. I was pleasantly surprised by our entire experience! Jean is extremely friendly, and a great host. The home is loft-style, so the large bathroom and sleeping quarters are open (don't worry, there's a washroom with a door and fan downstairs!). The location of the home is remote, so it's a lovely spot to watch the stars or enjoy a nice walk. The large kitchen and dining room were very comfortable for four adults (and a poodle). The living area also has a wood stove, hearth, and pool table. The home is a duplex, so it is possible that you will be on the property with another airbnb family, but there were no issues with noise or sharing the lovely pond. We were also satisfied with the cleanliness of the home and property. Jean primarily communicates in French, but has bilingual family members who can contact you if you aren't fluent in the language of love. I would recommend this home if you're looking for an open cottage to stay at, while you check out Magog or the Route des Vins!

Our time there was excellent! Jean showed us around and even left us some fresh eggs, which were great. It was a quiet, relaxing and refreshing. Thanks for the weekend, we will definitely be back.

April was quick to respond to our messages. We had a great time at Chalet Zem. The outdoor dining area is great

We had a very pleasant stay. The place is quiet and perfectly met our expectations. Nothing is complicated and April has answered all our questions very quickly. We look forward to returning next year!

Marie-Lou2015-06-28T00:00:00Z

Awesome experience at Zem Garden, beyond our expectations. A beautiful, comfortable, clean, private, charming and relaxing! The cottage, the lake, everything was perfect. April is a thoughtful hostess with whom it was easy to communicate. We would definitely return!

Chalet easy access, visually isolated beautiful path with giant hemlocks in the slope leading up to a quiet lake. Nice fire pit. The kitchen deserves better stoves, a microwave that displays time, safe kettle. Kitchen and main living area located in semi-basement with rooms; few windows. 2 other bedrooms upstairs and one bedroom boudoir rather for children because without privacy and with little precarious beds. This boudoir would redevelop. Adequate cleanliness throughout except for the refrigerator, dishes and the cabinet of the small bathroom that are stored toilet paper blackened by dust (no paper in all toilets). Showers are difficult to use and we have not managed to find a way to make them work. The main toilet the bench is cracked; Attention this clip! Enough space for yoga group with 4 people on the floor of beautiful wooden floor and lots of cushions. Unfortunately, although we found the electrical panel and able to activate all fuses, heating upstairs did not work (even by turning the knobs of heaters). Finally, comfortable 3 bedroom cottage that deserves more attention for maintenance and repairs of uses.

Nice chalet, very quiet and picturesque in winter. Equipped very well considering it is a second home.

Marco2017-01-07T00:00:00Z

We had the idea to bring our sales team up for a night to get away from the bustle of the city for a team building and strategy session for an upcoming project. initially we werent certain if this was viable plan however we are so very happy we did! the space both indoors and outdoors is large enough for activities and provided the ability for the teams to work separately. The house itself was perfect for downtime and there were no issues accommodating our staff of 6. The hostess April was incredibly helpful providing us with details on local amenities and helping us with our requests. it was a great corporate eco retreat that proved well worth the $ and time spent for our employees. it proved to be a great success.

We spent a weekend at Chalet Zem at the end of the summer. Our overall experience was enjoyable, despite some irritants. We were 3 couples with young children and the cottage is big enough for all of us. Given that one of the 4 bedrooms communicate with each other and cribs, it was perfect. 8 adults, it would have been less interesting. By cons, several gaps in cleanliness and maintenance were disappointed. Moreover, there was not enough hygiene and cleaning products. Major gaps in the security level lead us to not recommend the hammocks and playground equipment for children. The lake is healthy, we are caught perch and pike. We observed bat, a beaver, a hummingbird and a turtle. By cons, canoes are cracked and the one we tried taking on water. One life jacket for adult is available, other jackets are for children and are several years old. The lake is not visible from the cottage, we must go down a path to access it. Finally, although the cottage is suitable, the facilities are tired and in need of maintenance. Still, we keep good memories of this place and we are pleased with our stay.

Wonderful very large cottage on top of mountain! Very quiet nights, lots of stars and a real escape to nature. In the summer you can hike the forest, cycle the beautiful winding hills of the eastern townships, or hit the beach in Knowlton. In the winter you have the choice of more than 4 ski hills within 30 minutes! This large family cottage is perfect for getting family together, or friends to have that special time together. A perfect escape from any city, that sweet clean country air!

A rustic relaxing escape from the everyday city life. House fully equipped for both smaller and larger groups.
